"...these lyrics aren't especially poetic anyway, though they are so obscurantist that you can play all kinds of games about what Dylan really means when he sings, " Now all your fathers they've gone down / True love, they've been without it / But all their daughters put me down / 'Cause I don't think about it." Having studied the disc in detail since I was sixteen, I can now state that this most likely means two things: 1) Dylan had found a clever rhyme; 2) he thought about it all the time, maybe even too much."
